    Yinchuan Private Day Tour to Western Xia Tombs and 108 Dagobas

    8 Hours

    Embark on this exclusive private tour to discover two of Ningxia’s most compelling cultural and natural gems: start with the UNESCO-listed Western Xia Tombs, where a knowledgeable guide will unravel the mysteries of the imperial mausoleum’s ingenious layout, ancient burial customs, masterful construction techniques, and exquisite artistic details while illuminating the fascinating Tangut civilization that once flourished in the region; then journey to Qinglong Gorge to visit the Yuan Dynasty 108 Pagodas, a magnificent cluster of 108 lamaist pagodas arranged in a neat isosceles triangle along the hillside – one of China’s largest and most orderly pagoda groups, steeped in Buddhist symbolism . From here, soak in the breathtaking panoramic views of the winding Yellow River as it winds through rugged mountain landscapes, blending natural grandeur with profound historical charm. This all-inclusive tour includes a professional English-speaking guide, comfortable private transportation, all entrance fees, a delicious local lunch, and convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off in Yinchuan, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable exploration experience.

    Itinerary Quick Look

    Your English-speaking guide and private vehicle will greet you at your Yinchuan hotel lobby, then head directly to the Western Xia Tombs area. En route, your guide will share engaging histories and stories related to the Western Xia Dynasty – feel free to ask any questions along the way.

    Stop 1: Western Xia Museum (Address: Near Jiefang West Street, Xixia District, Yinchuan 750021, China | Duration: 1 hour)

    Kick off your journey at the Western Xia Museum, a key venue showcasing the glory of the Western Xia Dynasty (1038–1227). Guided by your expert, explore a rich collection of cultural relics including stone horses, Tangut script tablets, delicate porcelains, ancient Buddhist sutras, paintings, and statues. These artifacts vividly reflect the dynasty’s splendid history and the cultural fusion between the Tangut people and Central Plains civilization.

    Stop 2: Western Xia Tablets Forest (Location: Western Xia Palace, Jinshui Tourist Area, Xixia District, Yinchuan 750021, China | Duration: 20 minutes)

    Continue to the Western Xia Tablets Forest, where you can wander leisurely among scattered stone tablets. These fragmented yet precious relics bear both 西夏文 (Tangut) and Chinese inscriptions, offering rare insights into the dynasty’s politics, culture, and ethnic exchanges – some even help supplement or correct historical records from the Song Dynasty.

    Stop 3: Western Xia Imperial Tombs (UNESCO World Heritage Site | Address: East Foot of Helan Mountain, 35 km West of Yinchuan, Yinchuan 750200, China | Duration: 1 hour)

    Visit the Western Xia Imperial Tombs, known as the “Oriental Pyramids” and the largest, best-preserved heritage of the Tangut civilization. The complex spans vast desert terrain, encompassing 9 imperial mausoleums, 254 subordinate tombs, a large architectural site, and over 10 brick-and-tile kilns. Its unearthed relics – such as inscriptions, stone statues, and building components – feature vivid shapes, unique decorations, and distinct nomadic influences. Led by your guide, explore well-preserved structures including tomb walls, rammed earth platforms, and foundations, with visits to Tomb No. 1, 2, and 3. You’ll learn about the mausoleum’s innovative layout, ancient burial customs, exquisite construction techniques, and artistic achievements, while uncovering the mysteries of the Tangut civilization that thrived in Northwest China’s agri-pastoral region.

    Stop 4: Ningxia Qingtongxia 108 Tower (Address: West of Qingtongxia Reservoir, Qingtongxia 751600, China | Duration: 1 hour)

    First, savor a delicious local-style lunch at a nearby restaurant to recharge. Then, travel to Qingtongxia to visit the iconic 108 Pagodas, a masterpiece of Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) architecture. These pagodas are uniquely arranged in a grand isosceles triangle along the hillside, with 12 rows of odd-numbered towers (1, 3, 5… up to 108 total) – making them one of China’s largest and most neatly ordered ancient pagoda groups. Climb to the top with your guide to admire the spectacular panoramic view of the formation. In Buddhism, 108 is a sacred number, symbolizing the elimination of 108 earthly troubles through prayers or rituals. As you stroll around, soak in the serene scenery of the winding Yellow River and rugged mountain backdrops, a harmonious blend of natural beauty and spiritual significance.
    After completing the tour, you will be comfortably transferred back to your Yinchuan hotel.
